Susi May: "once in a lifetime" Over the years, many world champions and outstanding athletes from kitesurfing and snowkiting took part to this competition. Everyone keeps a strong memory of that experience and a great source of inspiration whether it was a victory or a withdrawal. The German champion Susi May, at the end of the 2016 edition said: "No matter how frustrated you feel, when you push yourself to the limits you always learn something about kitesurfing. It's one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences in one of the wildest and most fascinating places in the world". On the other hand, the three time world champion Steph Bridge who was able to win the Red Bull Ragnarok race warns those who are about to do this extreme race: "Choose the right equipment. Before the start eat carbohydrates and be well hydrated. You must persist and be positive. I wasn't able to finish the race twice, but at the third time, I won it". The Canadian champion Peter Martel, a regular in Haugastøl, echoes her: "Nothing will go as planned. But trust yourself and don't give up".
